Il Genera correspondent remarks
that at the instance of the Slmplon
Railway Company commission of ex-
perts have complied and published an
Interesting memoir of the geological
condition of the Simplon, with special
reference to tile temperature of the
proposed tunnel. The temperature of
a tunnel depends chiefly on its length,
character OF the strata through which
1t runs and the thicknes of the super
incumbent mass. In the st. Gothard
Tunnel the temperature often rises
TO nearly 80 degrees +. In the pro-
posed Mont Blanc Tunnel 1t will prob
ably be about 120 degrees F., and in
the Simplon Tunnel If the trace project
ed in the year 1877, which passes
through Mont Leone were adopted,
might be about lis degrees F. 1t is
now proposed, however, to adopt anoth-
er limo of operation, which, though it
would be curve and would make the
tunnel considerably longer than was
contemplated, offers several Important
advantages as compared with straight
line. 1t Is estimated that the normal
temperature of the tunnel on this line
would not exceed 90 degrees F., and as
the nature of the ground would admit
of the sinking of two shafts the temper
ature might be considerably reduced.
